Senior Division
MAYBA's Senior Division is for children ages 13-18. They play on a full size baseball field (90 ft base paths, 60 ft pitching distance). Due to conflicts with junior and senior high baseball, teams are not formed until late spring with games continuing through July. Home games are played at Mohnton 1, Rulon-Griffith field, or the GM JV field located below Cumru Elementary.
There is a hierarchy to this division:
Shillington Legion baseball (separate from MAYBA) holds its tryouts first. Players who do not make these teams may then tryout for City County baseball (please see notes about the two City County teams offered by MAYBA below). Remaining players have an opportunity to play either Western Berks or Senior Babe Ruth baseball, depending on their age.
For further clarification on Senior Division baseball, please contact the Division VP.
